Appearing in a Los Angeles Superior courtroom Thursday, February 20, 2014, former NFL safety Darren Sharper, conferring with his attorney Blair Berk, pleaded not guilty to charges of drugging and raping a pair of women he allegedly met at a West Hollywood nightclub. Sharper's bail has been increased from $200,000 to $1 million.

A judge on Monday denied bail for former NFL safety Darren Sharper, who is accused of drugging and raping two women he met at a West Hollywood nightclub.

Since Sharper's arrest in January, the Miami resident has been accused of raping women in Nevada, Louisiana and Arizona.

Sharper is accused of drugging 11 women in four states, and raping seven of them, officials said. In February, prosecutors pushed to have Sharper's bail raised to $10 million.

Prosecutors said last month that Sharper met two women at a West Hollywood nightclub on Oct. 30, 2013, and invited them to another party. On the way, Sharper allegedly told them he had to stop by his Los Angeles hotel room and invited both women up, officials said.

While there, he allegedly gave each woman alcohol with zolpidem and morphine, prosecutors said.
The women passed out.

One of them allegedly woke up naked hours later with Sharper sexually assaulting her, officials said.

The second woman allegedly awoke and “interrupted his actions,” prosecutors said.
